I don't care that we didn't dominate the game, I don't care that for long periods Sunlun looked like the better team, I do care that we won and they have no answer - it is points that matter and we have taken the first 3 points of the season from them. I cannot wait to hear the excuses rolling out........... They should have been down to 10 men in the first half, justice was eventually done!

Ha ha, thread about Barton already up to 3 pages... Post number 8 refers to the fabled character "Mag at Work" as well. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=613160

I'm not that keen on my next door neighbour.....

I have lived in several places around the UK, went to university in Winchester (many years ago). No matter where I lived I always hated anything to do with Sunderland. I am now back in Newcastle and nothing has changed.

As a season ticket holder, this season, we have no choice but, to be a member as well. This is tagged onto the season ticket fee... yes? Do I get anything that tells me that I am a member, like a badge or something? I did read that I can get the club news text to my mobile, team news etc. I have had nothing from the club to tell me how to register for that feature or anything else that I can now access for being a member.. Anyone know?

OK.

Erdinç didn't release that statement until a couple of weeks back though iirc. When it was the end of June/start of July, we were still very much in for him which was when Pardew said that he was hoping to sign someone before the US tour and someone else after the tour too. Unrelated question. How do you do that little wiggle underneath the "C" at the end of Erdinc?

wasn't there a story doing the rounds that erdinc wanted to come and terms were about agreed then the agent wanted more, deal scuppered and player announcing he'd stay. for the little it's worth i think he'll end up here for september. I think you are right, think he will be in black and white within a couple of weeks of the new season!

You would have to hope that when Erdinc released the statement that he planned to stay in Paris that our lot would have thought that we needed to move on to someone else though? That said the recent interest from PSG in QPR Striker Taarabt may set to unsettle him again......... grasp at straws like!

I am thinking that the clubs idea of news that will excite me as a fan is a little off the mark.......

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet but: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/8637138/Sports-Direct-profits-trigger-88m-bonus-windfall-for-staff.html Sport Direct's 2,000 staff received a windfall on Thursday after the retailer hit its profits target for the second year in a row, triggering an £88m share bonus with an average payout worth nearly £44,000. I will delete thread if there is a mention of this anywhere else on here!

It says you can have an adult and junior for £20 as well. How does that work? £20 to go on me own or £20 to go and take my lad..... Think I might give it a miss.

SSN tonight, Woodgate signs for Stoke but, expects to sit out the first 10 matches with a wrist injury as a result!

Sadly Ashley's idea of smartening up the outside of St James' would seem to include his company red and blue logo being slagged all over the place.......... I would rather the outside stayed as it is to be honest.........

Hopefully on a bit more wages than the pitence he was reported to be on while he was here......

If Nolan was not going to be a regular in the team because we had (or are preparing to sign) a replacement all of his positive influence could just as easily become negative. Personally I want to wish him well at West Ham.

We need another signing very soon along the same magnitude of Cabaye to lift everyones spirits following todays news and Joey Barton outbursts.. and I am not suggesting that Neil Taylor will be acceptable.

When I was 17 I went on holiday to Spain as a boy but, came back as a man! I know exactly what that quote means. hahah. Zog's been shagging Wigan lasses....

How can Liverpool pay £18m for Henderson and insult us with a £4 or 5m offer for Enrique??? Jeez!

Later this month, I think around 10th rings a bell.

If there was even the slightest chance the Newcastle would consider selling Tiote I don't think that they would have held him out of the final two matches of the season, I mean he would be worth the same whether banned for a game or two or otherwise so we would have played him if he was going anywhere. My opinion!

Think the 10% was deducted from the cost of the ticket on the form itself. Can't remember for sure but, I know I checked mine and I was being given the discount.

I am not in Level 7 but, this all seems like utter bullshit to me! I cannot believe how the club is treating loyal fans!

I keep hearing rumours that we are getting Elmander - does anyone have anything that could add some substance to this?
